49th Wilderness Camp Benefit Golf Tournament

We invite you to join us at Indian Valley Country Club, 650 Bergey Road, Telford, PA, for our 49th annual golfing event!

Funds raised will benefit Spruce Lake Wilderness (summer) Camp for children and youth ages 7-18 in three ways:

(1) Grow the Campership Fund so there is always money ready to assist parents in sending their children to camp. The tournament includes an evening auction for bidding on some exciting gift selections and for “buying” more new camperships of $325 each.

(2) Finance operational needs for all overnight camps at Spruce Lake plus off-site trips.

(3) Fund facility & equipment updates and renovations to keep camp functioning efficiently and well.
